The Oatmeal's Tesla Fundraiser Pushes Past $1.1M

The Oatmeal's Tesla Fundraiser Pushes Past $1.1M

With 34 days to go in his publicly funded campaign to, "build a goddamn Tesla Museum," Web cartoonist Matthew Inman — creator of The Oatmeal
— has blown past his initial goal of raising $850,000 by a fairly substantial amount.

I tried to find the thread I posted in but it seems to has gone in the Web waste land.

Anyway, I knew this goal would be blown away in not time. I am sure there is still room to spare so the Actual Museum will be what it should be.
Much larger than most Museum's in the World that are dedicated to much smaller minds.

I'm glad this is being done. Like most cattle, I only recently started learning about this man. It started for me about 3 years ago, when I saw
someone playing music on a Tesla coil. I believe it was the Mario theme song. After that I started reading, and again, this needs to happen. So..
yay!

Edison screwed Tesla over, should have been a mass wireless power system, instead we got wired AC/DC antiquated system even at its conception. Also
TPTB most lightly killed the poor old gentleman and stole his papers since they were missing when they found his body locked in a hotel room, wonder
what NWO lab they reside in now?

As mentioned, the PTB took complete advantage of Tesla's supremely humble nature and used & abused him.

Edison was a poor excuse for a human being and an even poorer excuse for a scientist. I think "leeching thief" is a more fitting descriptor.
Marconi, too. He used Tesla's developments to transmit those first transatlantic radio transmissions.

Edward Leedskalnin, thats the dude that built the coral palace, 100s of ton's in weight moved with only block and tackle + his small magic
pyramid/box. Wonder what was inside? Something of ancient egyptian descent? This dude may have re-mastered the art of anti-gravity. Did he die
suspiciously?

I'm not sure about the circumstances surrounding his passing. I do think that he was kind of a recluse and didn't socialize much. He was very
secretive about his knowledge and would not divulge any of it to anyone.

Did you know that he actually moved much of the castle from one site up the road a few miles to a more desirable site? I had heard some urban legend
stuff about that. He hired a flatbed truck to move the stone and told the driver to take a hike while he prepared everything. The driver was told to
come back the next morning to haul the stone to the new site. From what I hear, the driver's curiosity got the best of him and he came back to spy
on Edward an hour or so later. To his amazement, he found the flatbed completely loaded with thousands of pounds of coral blocks. Even if he took 8
hours to do all of that by himself, it's still amazing and unbelievable.

Edward Leedskalnin was Serb? I don't think so.

They might have been both orhodox, but Tesla as far as I can remember was only ethnically Serb, but born in Croatia while country was under Austrian
Empire rule and later has migrated to USA.

I was listening about this news last week on NPR. According to news, one librarian actually started everything and was looking for help as current
owner of Tesla research were looking to sell property and whole place would be destroyed by any prospect buyer.

Indeed interesting development especially with cartoonist whole had some cartoons about Tesla.

Wireless power transmission is allready employed in modern diesel electric submarines, they use a towed antenna array(0.5-1Km long) to draw
power(current in amps) from ELF(Extremely low Frequency) waves transmitted from who knows where. They can also use this array for OTH(over the
horizon) communication without interaction with satellites. Most lightly some precursor to the HAARP project. This has been happening since the
60s!

Tesla is Heating Up!!

J.P. Morgan...a (relative) billionaire of that time, didn't want anything to do with giving away something for free...like most wealthy conservative
people, he cared about making money, and not about making a selfless contribution to benefit mankind. edison fit that mold, and so old J.P. backed
him, and turned down tesla for monetary support

Leedskalnin didn't do anything, it was his team of elves, of course they did like him and they don't like many people!

Interesting
Edward Leedskalnin was a man of slight build and stature, measuring no more than 5 feet (152 cm) tall and never exceeded a weight of more than 120 lbs
(54.43 kg).

Tesla's work was initially sponsored by the copper magnate J.P. Morgan, who could see many more millions in the copper wire which would
transmit Tesla's AC current around the world. When Morgan learned that Tesla was working on a system which would transmit energy without wires -- and
thus the power going to homes could not be metered! -- Morgan dropped Tesla cold.
